Using the Office Loo

But that’s apparently not the way most US office workers
look at their office loo, according to a survey conducted
for US paper goods manufacturer Kimberly-Clark Corp.

According to a Reuters news report, a whopping 92% of
respondents said they only trek to the lav for the obvious
reason: to use the plumbing. Then it’s straight back to
their office cube and back to work. A scant 2% reported
heading for the rest room to “hide or get away.”

That doesn’t mean employees can do their bathroom
business without any creature comforts. Survey respondents
said they wouldn’t mind having a warm seat, a back rub, or
even music – with headphone provided.

More than a quarter of respondents said their employer
should put out magazines and newspapers in the bathroom
stalls. Some 12% called for masseuses and manicurists.
